Description Björn Voigt 2006-02-04 13:30:41 UTC 
If I use the beagle daemon "beagled" on a X11 display with missing MIT-SCREEN-SAVER-extension, I get this message every 2 seconds:

  Xlib:  extension "MIT-SCREEN-SAVER" missing on display "fully.qualified.domain.name:0.0".

Other programs, which also need the "MIT-SCREEN-SAVER" extension (e.g. Gaim), don't show this warning so often. I think, showing this warning once at startup is enough.

I'm using a Cygwin-X11 display which currently has no "MIT-SCREEN-SAVER" extension.

Gaim's solution is not perfect, but it handles missing "MIT-SCREEN-SAVER"-extensions better than "beagle". A much better but also bigger solution can be found in the xscreensaver package.

Checked in a fix for this.
